Carvings by Joe Dillett



Kendall Art Guild meeting this evening. Failed to bring my camera but brought up a couple images off the artisan's site. www.thecarvingshop.net
Joe is a fantastic speaker who had so much information to share, it was an extremely informative meeting. Wonderful demonstration of tools and techniques, previewed by a very positive session of business promotion. I was equally pleased putting an artisan to face with the wonderful altar carving I've witnessed at St Mary's Parish in Plano. There's a fireplace mantel up for raffle for Sandwich Opera House of Sandwich's historical district on his site. Wondered if April and husband had met this carver in their promotions of this art? Where are my carving tools?

Most beautiful! I didn't realize, until I enlarged the picture - how big the one is. Love those trees! And the other, a door. Also absolutely beautiful! Wow! I can't wait to show Rich. Will have to find his site and tell the woodcarving class.
